Great Exectations
By Wicean
Excellent writing, giving us to contemplate each action. The writing makes us discover words that are seldom used now. It was enjoyable to research words and see how they make this story evolve.

Great expectations

Wonderful story with everything in it, so real. I would have preferred the original ending, more fitting.

This book made me want to die
Not good...
By Schmey
Great Expectations was too long and the story line seemed to drag on. I could barely finish it. Most of the characters were unbelievable.

It wasn't as good as I'd hoped. :)
Not a light read.

It treads heavily in socioeconomic issues along with childhood to adult social mobility. Extremely long and tedious, and a waste of a novel idea. His characters are somewhat interesting, but character development is very stunted. Some "main" characters are not easy to connect to, merely because it may take 10 chapters to see them again.
I only recommend this if you are a big Charles Dickens fan or enjoy poring over hundreds of dull chapters.
My first taste of Dickens
By PaloLalo87
This is the first Dickens novel I've read. I felt a great sense of accomplishment considering I had to look up a word in the dictionary almost every sentence. The characters and dialogue are some of the best I've encountered in literature. The last half of the book really starts to get interesting, making it hard to put down. I recommend ready the original ending, which I found to be more fitting and satisfactory.
